“Whatever we do at renovation, we’ve still basically got garden sprinklers to try to irrigate the pitch, so that’s very time- consuming if we don’t get the rain. We do it, and do it well. But, it’s hard work.” The systems installed will have to contend with a little manmade local topography: “Any water will have to be taken down to a brook about 400 yards away, so that’s an added factor.”


“There’ve been a lot of considerations,


planning-wise. That’s why they’ve waited until this year to do it. They have to run the piping beneath the playing field of the adjoining college, which requires permission. They’ve worked with the water company to pull that through.”


The team are waiting to see how the new pitch deals with the coming season before committing to whether to retain their current formula for renovations: “With the U23s and the Ladies playing


here, there are going to be a lot of games. We have weeks coming up when there might be games on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, then possibly even Tuesday.” The team also look after other local sports surfaces. They don’t get any other contracting help besides Andrew’s. David said: “Everybody in the area knows each other, and the Southport coast is so strong with all the greenkeepers.”
